Future Compliance Implications
Binance’s USDT integration on TON comes before an expected regulatory shift in the European Economic Area (EEA).
The changes will place certain restrictions on unauthorized stablecoins, such as USDT, under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).
In its announcement, Binance advised users to stay informed about the changes to ensure compliance and avoid potential disruptions to crypto activities.
The cryptocurrency exchange Uphold recently announced to users that it would be delisting USDT and five other stablecoins by July 1 due to the European Union’s MiCA regulations.
The other five stablecoins included Dai (DAI), Frax Protocol (FRAX), Gemini dollar (GUSD), Pax dollar (USDP) and TrueUSD (TUSD).
Telegram Commitment To TON blockchain
In recent news, Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced plans to utilize the TON blockchain to tokenize stickers and emojis on the popular social media platform.
During his speech at Token2049 in Dubai, Durov emphasized the importance of privacy and freedom, which are core to the fundamentals of blockchain technology.
Durov outlined ambitions to build Telegram functionalities on The Open Network blockchain, including integrating USDT and ad revenue-sharing options.
